Chapter 278: 0194 Absolute Peak Form (3k)

Today, Lu Chenzhou witnessed the terror of the legendary Class 9. Although there were only ten people, they represented the accumulation of Dragon City Martial Arts University over decades.

Wang Hongdao patted Lu Chenzhou’s shoulder and consoled him,

"Don’t worry, don’t be discouraged, Brother Lu. With your talent, in ten or so years, at the very least, you will have broken into the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List, no weaker than them. After all, you started late, their starting points are where many people’s destinations lie... sigh."

Little classmate Wang was also kind-hearted.

He was worried that Lu Chenzhou, who had just seized the top position in Dragon City, would lose confidence due to the imposing manner of these seniors. When he first met these people, his path to the Dao almost collapsed.

How could such demons exist in the world? For these people, breaking through realms in Martial Arts was as easy as eating and drinking, and around 40 years old, they had hopes of being promoted to Martial Arts Grandmaster. Without any accidents, they all had the potential to become Great Grandmasters, even Heavenly Kings they could glimpse.

As for the Absolute Peak... that’s hard to say, it is the realm of immortals and gods.

Therefore, it’s extremely difficult to choose a Martial Arts Genius.

You have to be as abnormal as these people, how difficult is that?

Lu Chenzhou laughed and said,

"Brother Wang, I’m not discouraged, I’m excited... to walk on Dragon City’s grand stage with such geniuses, to climb the peak of Martial Arts together, how interesting."

Lu Chenzhou wasn’t frightened at all. In his eyes, these geniuses were not as impressive as Lufang. Lufang cultivated both internally and externally, and although only ten or so years older than these people, was already promoted to Martial Arts Grandmaster, a Grandmaster of Cross Training, rare in the world!

So what if they are geniuses?

Once his Divine Seed stacked up, he would be able to catch up sooner or later.

Martial Arts is not just about who walks fast in the early stages.

The real strong are those who walk far in the later stages.

He didn’t compare himself excessively with others, he was steady and improving on his own, climbing the mountain with his head down. One day, when he looked back, all these people would be at the foot of the mountain.

At the banquet.

Everyone was lamenting the disparity between people, the food in their mouths turning bitter.

Someone whispered to the person sitting next to them,

"Speaking of which, the top of Dragon City should also have the posture of a Martial Arts Genius, right?"

"Even if not as strong, it wouldn’t be far off."

"It might not suffice, right? Martial Arts Geniuses are recognized Martial Artists very early on."

"In my opinion, there’s hope."

After all the students were seated, a Martial Arts Great Grandmaster gracefully arrived. Her appearance was stunning, her figure slender, with a sword hanging at her waist, upright as a pine, noble as a crane.

Her appearance and temperament were like that of a legendary female fairy.

The female Grandmaster smiled and said,

"Let me introduce myself. I am Wei Fenghua, the head of the Crane School in Dragon City. I will be hosting today’s gathering of geniuses, so everyone relax, take this opportunity to get to know each other and don’t let there be a divide between the main and branch schools."

Lu Chenzhou looked at the female fairy and thought to himself, how pretty.

This was the first stunning beauty he had encountered since joining the Martial Arts University whose appearance could be described as ravishing, a woman who could bring disaster to countries, and she was a Martial Arts Great Grandmaster.

He wondered if she had used Martial Arts for... cosmetic purposes.

By her looks, she seemed naturally beautiful.

Of course, he had no other thoughts.

Wei Fenghua, known as the "Crane Fairy," was privately referred to by everyone as the "Principal’s wife;" she was the companion of Taixing Absolute Saber·Li Jin.

Ji Feiyan enviously said,

"Wei Senior and the Principal are truly an immortal couple."

Shi Ruyu nodded in agreement.

"Achievement in Martial Arts, Perfection in love, what more could one ask for in life?"

Most ordinary people could not achieve even one of these.

Having introduced herself, Wei Fenghua watched as a group of teachers from branches and the main campus came forward to offer a toast, and many geniuses also took the opportunity to get acquainted and familiarize themselves.

Lu Chenzhou sat there eating when a voice reached him,

"Congratulations to Brother Lu on becoming the top contender in Dragon City."

He turned around and saw a pretty young girl, who looked about his age, exuding the aura of a Martial Artist, floating as if she were a phoenix soaring to the heavens.

"You are ’Snow Phoenix Fairy·Fang Xue’, senior?"

The girl covered her mouth and laughed,

"Brother, drop the senior title, I’m a year younger than you, it seems."

Lu Chenzhou seriously said,

"In Martial Arts, respect goes to the accomplished."

Fang Xue smiled slightly and extended her hand,

"Just call me Fang Xue. I was last year’s top contender in Dragon City and also the class president of Class 9... you know, the class president of Class 9 typically just does the grunt work."

Lu Chenzhou shook hands with her, not sure what else to say.

Fang Xue asked,

"Shall we add each other as friends, get to know each other? Although we are in different places, we’re from the same school. There will be many opportunities to work together in the future, so it’s good to become familiar early on."

In Fang Xue’s eyes, Lu Chenzhou was already considered a Martial Arts Genius.

If not now, definitely in the future.

Such a person was worth befriending.

Seeing Fang Xue go to find Lu Chenzhou, several other people from Class 9 came over.

"Brother Lu, nice to meet you, I am Liu Xiang, Snake Form."

"I’m Wan Huahua, Butterfly Form."

"Lu Henian, Crane Form."

"That is... My name is Li Fu, Dragon Form."

Lu Chenzhou shook hands with everyone, then his gaze shifted toward Li Fu.

He looked closely at this person who was possibly an Innate Nine Apertures individual.

"Nice to meet you, Brother Li!"

Li Fu smiled and said,

"Brother Lu is impressive. Even without being a Martial Artist yet, you’ve already surpassed me on the Hidden Dragon List."

Lu Chenzhou said,

"Pity. I was actually looking forward to a match with Brother Li in the ring."

Li Fu’s face wore a smile.

"No worries... there will be other chances."

Fang Xue turned her head to glance at the others from class 9 and said with a laugh,

"Those seniors are either Martial Arts Masters or Martial Arts Grandmasters; they are quite indifferent in nature and find it hard to mingle with us juniors, Brother Lu, please don’t mind."

Lu Chenzhou replied,

"I am no Martial Artist, and for your esteemed selves to come and find me is already a great honor. Should opportunities arise in the future, there will naturally be a chance to become acquainted."

Had it been him, he probably would not bother socializing with the younger generation either.

Whether it was the disposition of one’s heart or one’s cultivation, the gap was too great.

Fang Xue was a social butterfly; after she got to know Lu Chenzhou, she added even lesser-known people like Wang Hongdao and Leopard Woman as friends and chatted with smiles.

Her primary purpose in coming to this table was to network with Lu Chenzhou.

Everyone else was just along the way, not to lose any courtesy.

At the class 9 table, Li Ao and Wang Xian were happily drinking and chatting.

"Brother Li, I heard you hunted a mutant beast in the Void Realm some time ago?"

"Yes, luck was on my side."

"It’s said to be a rare Earth Rank scale-type mutant beast? If it’s crafted into an Enlightenment Elixir, Brother Li should be secure in becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster before forty."

"Enlightenment Elixirs are still auxiliary after all; I’ll just do my humanly best... By the way, Brother Wang, watching this year’s Dragon City champion’s battle, how do you find his Tiger Form? To communicate with the Heavenly Heart Mark in front of a Martial Artist, he must not be an ordinary opponent."

"With his internal and external cultivation, to achieve such a proficiency in Tiger Form... he’s stronger than me."

"Brother Wang, you are being too modest."

"Really, but it doesn’t matter. Talents Emerge in Every Generation, and I, the top Tiger Form of the Hidden Dragon List, will step down next year; it’s time for newcomers to take the stage."

Hearing his close friend Wang Xian’s high praise for Lu Chenzhou, Li Ao looked toward the young man, seemingly touched, and the short-haired youth also turned his gaze with a slight smile.

Li Ao calmly retracted his gaze.

He had a relative, a constant guardian of Star River City in the Void Realm, who, after watching the video of the national Martial Arts Academy finals a while ago, said,

"I see in this child, a pose of the Absolute Peak!"

Li Ao did not quite understand; after all, since the competition started, hundreds of national champions had been born, but none had broken the Seventh Shackles.

The highest achievement of the national champions thus far is Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Lu Chenzhou’s dual cultivation, suspected to be a Martial Bone Dao Embryo, was indeed impressive; from common sense, to say Lu Chenzhou had the pose of a Grandmaster, or a Great Grandmaster was fine.

But "pose of the Absolute Peak" seemed too exaggerated.

One must know, his relative, who made this comment, only said Li Ao himself had the "Heavenly King’s Pose." If anyone else had said that, Li Ao would definitely be dissatisfied, thinking it nonsense, except that his relative was... the Cangtian Dragon King!

"What did the Dragon King see, after all?"

...

After three rounds of wine, the banquet neared its end.

Lu Chenzhou drank until slightly tipsy; today, he had added hundreds of people to his contacts and drank an untold amount of light Fenjiu, all by relying on his physical resilience.

It’s not the wine that intoxicates; he was just happy. He was standing at the same starting line as the most promising youths of Da Xia, his future bright!

Finally, Wei Fenghua approached Lu Chenzhou.

Lu Chenzhou quickly stood up, waiting for her to speak.

Wei Fenghua patted Lu Chenzhou’s shoulder and drained the wine from her cup.

Her voice, ethereal, echoed by Lu Chenzhou’s ear,

"Keep it up, Dragon City champion! Both Principal Li and I have high hopes for you, hoping that you and Principal Wang can bring glory to Dragon City Martial Arts University in Jiangnan! These few days, there is only one protagonist in our Dragon City Martial Arts University... and that is Lu Chenzhou!"

...

July 3rd.

Su City Dragon Martial.

They triumphantly returned to school, buoyed by victory, and to celebrate Lu Chenzhou’s championship, Principal Wang even organized a grand commendation ceremony.

Lu Chenzhou floated high for a few days and then quickly returned to his state of cultivation, treating external honors as the past, focusing on the great task of opening acupoints.

In June, he had spent a month opening his 24th acupoint.

He planned to maintain this pace, opening the remaining six acupoints within about half a year. With all 30 acupoints open, he would be able to break the shackles and ascend to Martial Artist!

...

Fist Technique class.

Li Gui, who did not go to the headquarters, was watching Lu Chenzhou.

Now, he wasn’t hiding his smile at all.

"Not bad, I’m a Chief Master now too."

"Honorably, I did not disappoint."

Li Gui said,

"You can forget about other competitions before becoming a Martial Artist; you’re not short of money now, focus on opening your acupoints, and strive to ascend to Martial Artist by the first half of next year."

"Mhm."

Lu Chenzhou’s favorite sight was the smile of Iron-faced Tiger.

Looking at his teacher’s lonely departing figure, he thought internally,

"The title of Chief Master is just the beginning..."

...

Before long, a month had passed.

The outside world was full of chaos, fleeting as dust.

This all had nothing to do with Lu Chenzhou, who was immersed in his cultivation; his beloved friends and family all lived in Martial Arts University, and in the Chaotic World, he managed to find relative peace.

July 30th.

Lu Chenzhou methodically completed the opening of the 26th acupoint, the Chi Ze Acupoint, which primarily functions to store the water transformed by the Yemen Acupoint, making the body like Yun Meng Marsh, saving up moisture for times of need.

Simply put, like a "camel’s hump."
